Submitted on March 13, 2013 4:30 PM EST Name: David Grilli Comments: Hi Stuart, My family are from Villalatina/Vallegrade. I have recently traced my grandfathers siblings and found 2 sisters remained in Italy. On a recent photo of my Great Grandmothers Grave, Domenica Frezza d 1927 I was surprised to see fresh flowers on the grave. I think therefore that my grandfathers sisters families have remained in Villalatina. I wonder if you have a contact such as Tony Valente (jeweller) who has been helpful to many people. There must be a caretaker for the cemetery at VL. Do you have any suggestions? I would be grateful for any help you can offer–any email contacts would be great. Many thanks david–PS are you related to Marco Capaldi who lives near me in Dover Kent. If you know him is his mother still alive?

Submitted on January 29, 2013 12:17 AM EST Name: Elizabeth Snider Comments: Wonderful and so extensive. I am a descendant of Sante Capaldi (he is my 8th great grandfather), my grandfather Alfonso Arcari and grandmother Rosa Di Duca. I will be traveling to the homeland for the first time this October2013 and hope to stay at Ann Tantangelos place in Sora. I would so appreciate anything you can tell me about living relatives. I speak some Italian, I lived in Florence for a couple years in 1980s.

Submitted on November 29, 2012 1:36 PM EST Name: Michael Porrelli Comments: Interesting to read this. My Dad Victor Anthony Porrelli was an ace cabinet maker and antique furniture restorer and he learnt his trade from a Capaldi in East London in the 1930’s. Have researched our family history and all originate in San Giuseppe, Picinisco. Other names in our family history are Di Gizzi and D’Ambrosio. Kind regards.

Comments: Hi, Stuart, You and I have communicated before, I believe, on one of the Picinisco forums. I just found your web site while searching San Giuseppe. It’s a nice site. I will spend more time here when I can. I did download your family name list and notice that we do share some ancestors, notably Michelangelo Ferri, born in 1761 (and his father Cosimo, of course). Michelangelo was my 4x-great-grandfather. Most of my Italian ancestors are from Molise, specifically from the Volturno valley – Pizzone, Castel San Vincenzo, Colli a Volturno, possibly Scapoli. But Michelangelo’s daughter Serafina married Pietro Di Iorio of Pizzone in 1815, Pietro and Serafina are 3x-great-grandparents. This union, by the way, surprises me somewhat. We were there last spring and drove from Pizzone to Picinisco. It took an hour and a half on modern roads in a good car. I often wonder what brought Serafina and Pietro together. You don’t mention in your family name list Cosimo Ferri’s wife Serafina Salvatore or Michelangelo Ferri’s wife Maria Angela Maddalena Faccenda (she went by Maddalena). I mention this just in case you don’t have these names. It’s interesting that I have ancestors also from Scotland, but from a Scottish line. A 7x-great-grandfather Sylvester Proffitt (born 1698) was from Perth. He was a Jacobite rebel during the 1715 rebellion against England. He was captured and sent to the colonies as an indentured servant. My wife and I enjoyed being in Italy. It is very beautiful there. Again, I like your site. I look forward to going through more of it. Ciao, Wendell Murray

Submitted on March 24, 2010 1:19 AM EST Name: Katia Ansalone Comments: (Scotsitalians research project) Hi Stuart thank you for offering to help.I sent you the questionnaire from the email address above, as I have problems accessing my own one. Hope you get it. Thanks again Katia

Submitted on March 22, 2010 11:45 AM EST Name: Katia Ansalone Comments: Dear Stuart I was given your contact name by Caroline Church, on the Italian genealogy website. In collaboration with the University of Edinburgh, I am carrying out a research project on Italian language maintenance among the Scotsitalian community and on the role that the language plays in shaping the identity of successive generations of Italian immigrants. The research will make use of data collected through the administration of a short (anonymous) questionnaire. I was wondering if you could take the time to help (whether you can actually speak Italian or not is not important). I can either email the questionnaire to you or send it by post, together with a self-addressed return envelope. I would also appreciate it if you could tell about the project to anybody that might be interested – at the moment I am experiencing enormous difficulties in recruiting respondents. Should you have any questions about the research, I will be pleased to answer them. Kind regards Katia Ansalone katiaansalone123 @ hotmail.comHow did you hear about this site?
